Beautiful blue agapanthus flowers that I found further up our street this morning. I love the blue buds and with this particular plant, rose hips had invaded one of the blue blooms. Tapanui, West Otago, New Zealand.
Agapanthus spherical-shaped flower head on a stout stem, with blue buds, partly-open flowers and one fully open flower facing the camera. Background of green foliage, including the long, green, strappy, leaves of agapanthus reaching out on either side of the flower head.
Rose hips meet agapanthus flower head. Two orange-red oval rose hips snuggle in with blue buds in the centre of an agapanthus flower head. Bright and cheerful!

The agapanthus often are used in landscape plantings here; they’re a lovely flower.

They *are* lovely and I like the white-flowered form too. They’re actually a pest plant in much of NZ but I can still appreciate their beauty!

I’ve seen exactly one white one. It popped up at a local marina in a flower bed, and it was a thrill to see.
